Small-Format Aerial Photography by James S. Aber
Small-Format Aerial Photography: Principles, techniques and geoscience applications PDF Download Ebook. James S. Aber, Irene Marzolff and Johannes Ries presents basic and advanced principles and techniques with an emphasis on digital cameras. Unmanned platforms are described in considerable detail, including kites, helium and hot-air blimps, model airplanes, and paragliders.
Several case studies, primarily drawn from the geosciences, are presented to demonstrate how SFAP is actually used in various applications. Many of these integrate SFAP with ground-based investigations as well as conventional large-format aerial photography, satellite imagery, and other kinds of geographic information.
Full-color photographs throughout are presented with case studies from around the globe. Techniques presented allow for image resolution impossible to match via traditional aerial photography or satellite datasets. Glossary clarifies key terms. With the evolution from film to digital in the last 10 years, the authors managed to update and make the transition from analog film to digital small format camera systems for imaging and mapping our landscapes at an affordable cost. They showcase many platforms and approaches for using small format systems.
This is an excellent overview of small format aerial photography for anyone seeking general information on what is necessary for this field. Although the book delivered all that it promised, I would like to have had a better view into the business aspects of aerial photography. All of the information in this book is thoroughly explained in clear language. I am enjoying it. I believe I will continue to enjoy it on rereading each area.
